Deae Professor Kemt — I am glad to learn from j-our letter of the 

 5th inst. that it is proposed to hold a meeting in memory of Dr. J. S. 

 Newberr}', and I most sincerely wish that I could be present at it to add 

 raj' little tribute of respect, admiration and affection. It has seldom 

 been my lot to meet a man who at once so established himself in one's 

 inner heart as a friend to be entirely trusted and loved ; one whose 

 sj'mpathy went out to you in a hundred ways, and who at the same time 

 comnwmded your deepest respect for his brilliant intellectual gifts, and 

 for that strong will and brave spirit that carried him through all diflicul- 

 ties and opposition . I never knew a man whose true character was more 

 vividly expressed by his face, and I shall cherish, as long as I live, the 

 memory of that noble head with its eye like an eagle's, its firm set mouth, 

 and that play of kindly humor that used to light up the whole expression 

 of his countenance. 



Of his scientific career, of the wide range of his activity, and of the 

 value of the contributions with which he enriched science, I have no 

 room to say anything here. I trust that among his surviving friends 

 some will be found anxious to give the world a clear outline of the 

 enormous amount of work which he achieved. 



I dwell rather on his personal character, and on the loss which his 

 death has brought on all who knew him. For myself, one of the strongest 

 links which bound me to the States has now been severed, but amidst my 

 sorrow I rejoice that it has been given to me to have the privilege of 

 knowing and loving such a man. With truest sympathy in your efforts 

 to do honor to his memory, 



Yours ever truly, 



ARCH. GEIKIE.
